\section{Introduction}
Hello, my name is Colton and together we're going to explore LaTeX !

technical papers. Usually in the realm of math and science. As such,
we need to be able to add special symbols to our paper! \\
My favorite Greek letter is $\xi$. I also like $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\sigma$.
Math has many symbols, far beyond what you can find on a keyboard.
Set and relation symbols, arrows, operators, Greek letters to name a few. \\
Sets and relations play a vital role in many mathematical research papers.
Here's how you state all y that belong to X, $\forall$ x $\in$ X.
Notice how I needed to add \$ signs before and after the symbols. This is
because when writing, we are in text-mode. However, the math symbols only exist
in math-mode. We can enter math-mode from text mode with the \$ signs.
The opposite also holds true. Variable can also be rendered in math-mode. \\

For a right angled triangle (see Fig.~\ref{fig:right-triangle}) with sides $a$,
$b$ and $c$, where $c$ is the hypotenuse, the following holds:
My favorite Greek letter is $\xi$. I also like $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\sigma$.
Operators are essential parts of a mathematical document: trigonometric functions
(sin, cos, tan), logarithms and exponentials (log, exp), limits (lim) e.t.c. have
pre-defined LaTeX commands. Let's write an equation to see how it's done: \\
$\cos$ (2$\theta$) = $\cos$^2 $\theta$ - $\sin$^2 $\theta$
Fractions(Numerator-denominators) can be written in these forms:
% 10 / 7
^10/_7
% Relatively complex fractions can be written as
% \frac{numerator}{denominator}
$\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}$
